The US Navy is currently here in Monrovia, Liberia with three ships outside the harbour and one HSV Swift tied up to the pier. We were invited to take a tour of HSV (High Speed Vessel – made of aluminum and able to travel up to 50 mph) last night. In the photo, I am sitting in the capitan’s chair with my finger on the small silver ‘helm’. The US Navy is on a good will tour, in cooperation with some non-governmental organizations, and hosting various receptions on board. In return, we hosted them for a tour and coffee on board the Africa Mercy.
